Barbaric racing

Two horses suffered fatal accidents during races on Aintree’s Ladies Day on Friday.

A lot of people, including the media, establishment, politicians, nobility, royals etc, will no doubt have views on how circus animals were treated and if one animal died they would be on to it instantly, yet two horses dying in one day at one meeting and there is no campaign to halt this barbaric, so-called sport!

Double standards by many perfidious people springs to mind.
